Bridget Green - Preschool Director
Hi, my name is Bridget Green; I am the director and teacher of Little Panther Preschool. The Lord has been using me to guide this children's outreach ministry since the year 2000.
In 1999, my husband and I moved to our farm with three young children, built a new house and proceeded to grow our family, livestock, orchard, flowerbeds and a garden.
I met my husband, Scott, at Purdue University, where love of our farm/country roots saw us graduating from the school of agriculture. Upon graduation, we married and started our own family, with the Lord giving us a daughter and two sons. We raised them as we were raised, with a love for the Lord and life on the farm. Our children are now all married to wonderful people, and our family has grown to include their spouses.
As love for our own children and teaching the preschool children of others has grown through the years, I have come to realize the importance of my work. The Lord not only has me planting the seeds of His Word in children, but building relationships with families and community members to help expand His Kingdom as well as make this world a better place for future generations. “For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10)
I would like to thank the Lord for sheltering me throughout my life, and all the blessings He has bestowed upon me and my family. I, also thank the Lord, for the privilege of being able to work with young children and their families in teaching knowledge of Our Heavenly Father, and Savior Jesus Christ, as well as preparing preschool graduates for kindergarten.
